Sommario/riassunto

The first program covers the emergence of MDR TB (multidrug resistant tuberculosis) between 1985 and 1992 that resulted from some TB bacteria's resistance to once-effective antibiotics. Covers transmission and prevention methods, with emphasis upon respirators, their types, how they work, and their certification status. The second program presents an 8 step process to administrators to implement the OSHA respiratory protection standard.
